And when you put graphics cards into a machine with onboard graphics do you usually need to alter jumpers or BIOS or anything or does the system automatically accept the new board and disable the onboard?

So a quick google search is, your board is (at least) a few generations old (LGA775 socket). You said you had some spare video cards around; do you know what they are? From what I can tell, you should have (at least according to google) 1 x16 pcie slot available for a modern video card.

Instead of using outdated Belarc software, try others such as Speccy.
If trying to get drivers for system in question, since that mobo is proprietary, download/use drivers from the system manufacturer's website. If system was from Acer, drivers should be provided by Acer.
Make and model of the mobo means nothing in this situation except to try trace down brand/model of the system.
With that said,
If system in question is an Acer Veriton 5800, VGA drivers for use with WinXP 32-bit listed at acer.

You're kind of pushing it unless you have added some ram. Here are the System Requirements. Make sure you have the latest video drivers and DirectX. There are various articles on the web about running GE with the Intel GMA 950 graphics that are probably what you have.

If you want to continue to try and run the latest version you can download the full install from the Direct Installer Links Here. This may solve the installation problems. If it will install but you still have problems try the remedies in Crashing and Graphics Issues.

Because of the computer and WinXP you will probably not be able to run version 7. You can download version 6.2 from the same Direct Installer Links. This has been working better with WinXP.
